Export

Export converts documents into files for reading, sharing or further editing without changing the originals in your Library.

If you need to preserve the Library structure, Assets and history for continued use in WonderPen, see Export as Zip File. To share a video of your writing process, use Writing Replay.

Open the Export Window

Click Export on the main window's top bar, or choose File → Export. You can also access Export from a document's right-click menu in the document tree.

If the button is hidden, enable Export under Settings → Advanced → Topbar.

Select Documents and Export

The document tree is on the left, settings for the current format are in the middle, and the preview is on the right:

1. Choose an export format at the top.
2. Check the documents to export on the left. You can select several chapters of a longer work at once. Before exporting, check that any child documents you need are selected too.
3. Choose the content, output mode and formatting options, then inspect the preview on the right.
4. Click Export, choose where to save the output, and wait for it to finish.

The preview helps you check formatting but may show only part of the content. A partial-preview notice does not mean fewer documents will be exported. Open the completed file in the appropriate application to check its full contents and pagination.

Choose a Format

Format	Suitable for
Image (PNG)	Sharing excerpts or creating images of text
PDF	Preserving page layout for reading or printing
Word (.docx)	Submitting, reviewing or editing work in a word processor
EPUB	Reading a book in an e-book reader
Web page (HTML)	Reading in a browser or developing a web page
Text (.txt / .md)	Saving plain text or Markdown, or moving to another writing tool

Formats preserve different aspects of formatting. Text files, for example, do not retain visual styles such as fonts and font sizes. The built-in Word exporter supports tables, code blocks and code syntax highlighting. For content such as formulas, you can also compare the output from Pandoc.

Common Options

• Export Content Type: choose document content, memos, or both. Before submitting or sharing work, check whether your memos should be included.
• Include document title in export: adds the title from the document tree to the output. Clear this option if the same title is already at the start of the document body.
• Save As: Single File combines the selected chapters; Folder saves chapters separately and preserves their hierarchy. EPUB does not offer this option. Images may be split across several files even when Single File is selected.
• Remove Annotations: images, PDF and HTML support removing annotations from the text.

Format Settings

Image

Choose a template and adjust width, zoom, font, font size, line height and other settings. Some templates require a membership; check the requirements shown in the application. Available settings vary by template.

Max Page Height can be automatic or custom. Long content is split into multiple images, and zoom affects the output's pixel dimensions. If an export fails or the images are too large, try reducing the width, zoom or page height.

PDF

Set the page size, orientation, page numbers and custom margins. For a single file, choose Page Break or Blank Lines between chapters. With blank lines, you can also set their number.

Word

Choose Default (the built-in exporter) or Pandoc as the export method. The built-in exporter provides font and font size settings. For a single file, you can also choose how chapters are separated. Pandoc requires a separate installation; see Use Pandoc.

EPUB

Set the book title, author and cover image. E-book readers may apply their own fonts and layout settings, so check the exported book in the reader you intend to use.

Web Page (HTML)

When Save As is set to Folder and multiple documents are selected, enable Add Contents to navigate between the exported web pages.

You can also choose whether to use CSS or enable custom HTML. When No CSS is enabled, text styles from the editor are not applied.

Text

Choose .txt for plain text, or .md to preserve Markdown markup for further editing in other Markdown tools. Both formats offer a line break setting; use Auto if unsure. For a single file, you can also set the number of blank lines between chapters.

Style Settings

• Use the styles from editor: available for images with No Template, PDF and HTML.
• Custom CSS: available for images with No Template, PDF, EPUB and HTML. See Custom CSS to create a scheme.

Word and text do not use these CSS options.

Window Options and Stopping an Export

Click the menu button in the upper-right corner of the export window to toggle Show preview panel, or choose whether to open the output folder or close the window after export. If the preview is missing, check that Show preview panel is enabled.

If a Stop button appears during export, click it to request cancellation; the current step may need to finish first. The Pandoc command execution stage does not offer a Stop button.
